As part of the (very late) review of the international postcard exchange that Playing by the Book organised for over 1000 families, we decided to get some books relating to “post”. We got four in total – our favourite will be reviewed in our story + art post on Wednesday (next post). Here are the […]

A few weeks back, I did a post on German books for toddlers. The response was so good, that I thought I would regularly feature “foreign language” books. Today we have some Spanish books. As I only speak very little Spanish, I decided to get another bilingual family to Guest Post for you! Do go and […]

Theme world continues.. this week’s theme if “Being Yourself” – in a loose sense. Hope you like the choice! Remember all the books are available on my Amazon Store – the (very) small (!) proceeds I make go towards giveaways and charity… Dance, Giles Andreae & Guy Parker-Rees. I have to confess to picking this […]

Well… I seem to be slipping into “theme” world. Nothing wrong with that… Today’s theme is Airports! Airport books can be GREAT if you are going on a long journey or to, erm, the airport for the first time. It is also great when you try and explain to a 2 year old why Daddy […]

With everyone getting stuck all over the place, thanks to the Volcano in Iceland – including The Englishman, we have been looking at the sky alot – lots of blue skies and lovely fluffy clouds. Also, I had to explain to Red Ted that there were no planes flying… So out came a much loved […]

In honour of this month’s Get Crafty – All things Red – I have decided to tell you about 3 books that are all about colour (there are very few books that are JUST about red, so colour it is…). The books below are linked to amazon store – any (small) proceeds will go towards […]

Follow The Line, by Laura Ljungkvist. Another one of my random purchases – I liked the cover. I bought. I know you should never judge a book it’s cover (and I have failed on that count several times before), but I wasn’t disappointed this time. What a beautiful book. Reminiscent of child activity books where […]

Sharing lots of ice crafts and snow activities to do with the kids this Winter! Hopefully these Winter Activities will […]
